00:39we thought of a mechanism wherein one ventilator can be used for multiple patients.
00:46Based on the pressure available in the ventilators which are being developed, we have seen that
00:51that pressure is sufficient if you use it for multiple patients.
00:57So we have made a mechanism which actually makes use of one ventilator to give it used
01:05for multiple patients and that has been tested in a couple of hospitals and with a couple
01:13of doctors and it is working.
01:17And the medical experts in this area have given some more suggestions to us wherein

01:30to incorporate.
01:32And also to see that the infection from one patient will not be affecting the other patient,
01:43some filtering mechanisms also to be incorporated in this, that also we are incorporating.
